The Philadelphia Flyers needed a coach like John, look at the job he did with a below average team. I personally just like the way is he as a coach and probably an awesome person! There’s a reason why he’s here to amd that's to get the team back to the glory days. The man wants to be here and coach his team, even though the team is far off from contending. He took the job knowing that he had a tough task ahead. First year, He did an amazing job with players and not superstars like McDavid or OVI. Can your fans have any faith? I saw him Coach Tampa in 2005-2006 vs the Flyers, they won the Stanley Cup. One of his comments was “one day ill coach The Flyers’. The coach is very honest with his players and you will hear it if you make a mistake. I’ve watched him this year and you need a coach that cares so much. The guy brings a pedigree that most fans don’t realize. The teams he has coached over the years, are always defensively responsible. The Provy trade was a good start to rebuild this team. The return was great for the new GM Danny B and I know he and Keith Jones will get this team back the good old days of hard to play against. In One year, this coach has this team hard to play againstat home and I think that's one hell of a start!
